Updates on Bukit Merah Laketown Resort

13 May 2016
Orang Utan Island at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort reopened to the public when the resort began using land cruisers to ferry visitors from the jetty to the island. The island had been closed to visitors since 11 April, 2016, when the lake became too shallow for the boats to navigate safely. With the use of the land cruiser, visitors pay RM25 per adult and RM15 per child instead of RM30 and RM18 respectively.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
